“Astronaut Robert L. Crippen, is seen at the commander’s station of the Space Shuttle Challenger as it passes through the Earth’s atmosphere on re-entry. The friction results in a pinkish glow visible through the forward windows on the flight deck. The scene was exposed with a 35mm camera.”

I thought that was awesome, and had to try it. I selected all the applications in my aps folder and let er rip (well, I didn't fire up Paralles and let windows pollute things). Only took about 5 minutes to load everything. I had 144 processes running after all was said and done -- and memory to spare!!!!!

From City of Ballarat media release
Friday, March 12, 2010, 3:01 PM The Ballarat Town Hall restoration project continues with works underway on the Sturt Street façade.
Residents and visitors are sure to notice scaffolding installed to the full façade of the historic Town Hall building, extending to the top of the clocktower.
The restoration of the Sturt Street façade will be completed mid-2010. Public access to the Sturt Street Town Hall entrance was interrupted while the scaffolding was erected, as it will be for a short time during the dismantling of the scaffolding, however the entry is now open and will remain so throughout the works.
Ballarat City Lead Councillor on Heritage Samantha McIntosh said the Town Hall is among Ballarat's finest historical locations and residents are sure to admire the important restoration works.
"Town Hall has the highest possible heritage listings at both state and national levels. The building is an icon of the city and as part of this project, the Town Hall will be restored to its rightful glory. While the scaffolding and works may not look glamorous right now, this essential restoration will protect and preserve the Town Hall well into the future."
Local Ballarat company, Nicholson Construction are completing the restoration project.
The conservation work includes the restoration of all stone, renders, timbers, metal materials and architectural features on the exterior of the building including the wrought iron balustrade on top of the clock tower. The clock faces will be restored, windows repainted and all gutterings replaced.
The Sturt Street façade works involve restoration of all rendered surfaces and the removal of all eroding sandstone pediments in the area near the building's Sturt Street entrance and replacement with new stone. The sandstone will be sourced from Germany to match the existing stone.
The Town Hall restoration project will cost approximately $1.85M. Council has provided $0.5M in its 2008/09 capital budget for the works; and allocated a further $1M of its five year capital program. The Federal Government Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts has contributed $350,000 to the project.
The first phase of the building's restoration - the Armstrong Street and Town Hall Lane façades - was completed in December 2009. The works, which began in August 2009, featured the restoration and replacement of decayed ledges, cornices, mouldings and cement wash over the whole façade.
The most recent conservation report, 'Ballarat Town Hall External Conditions Survey Report' (Allom Lovell 2004) identified the need for major conservation works on the external fabric. Specialised heritage and conservation architects were appointed by Council to develop method statements and specifications to enable the project to proceed.
The foundation stone of the existing Town Hall building - the third on the site - was laid on January 14, 1870, the 14th anniversary of the first election of Councillors. The first meeting of the City Council took place in the building in March 1872.

Extent of Registration 1. All the building known as the Ballarat Town Hall, marked B1 on Plan No. 600222G(A), endorsed by the Chairperson of the HBC and held by the Director, Historic Buildings Council, but excluding the addition made to the building after 1912.
2. All the land on Plan No. 600222G(A), endorsed by the Chairperson of the Historic Buildings Council and held by the Director, Historic Buildings Council and described in Certificates of Title Vol. 179 Folio 35775, Vol. 2881 Folio 576061, Vol. 4962 Folio 992223 and Vol. 2926 Folio 585107.
Statement of Significance
The distinctive two storey classical revival building, with central mansarded clock tower of two levels, and unusual pedimented end pavilions featuring fan-shaped glazing is one of the few grand-scale symmetrical town hall design in Victoria, and reflects the civic pride of the Ballarat citizens of the 1860s, and their vision for the future.
* The design, which resulted from an architectural competition in 1868, is interesting and unusual work of three architects - the exterior by JJ Lorenz, the interior by local architect HR Caselli, and the final overall composition by Ballarat borough architect Percy Oakden, who merged the incompatible design designs of Lorenz and Caselli into a whole. Oakden later moved to Melbourne, entered partnership with architect Leonard Terry, and became one of Victoria's influential 19th century architects. The building was erected by William Cowland.
The Town Hall is believed to be one of the only three such buildings in the world equipped with bells. The eight "Alfred Bells" in the clock tower, weighing four and a half tons were purchased to celebrate the arrival of Prince Alfred following an attempted assassination. (The Prince visited Ballarat in 1867).
The fact that part of the ground floor street frontage was rented for commercial purposes is particularly unusual in a town hall building. Indeed, the last major tenant, the Commercial Bank of Australia Ltd who vacated the building in 1965, occupied the Armstrong Street corner for 97 years.
The existence of the unfinished 1860 town hall (designed by CO Cuthbert and built by Evans and Barker), incorporated into the eastern extremity of the present building, the former police court, and the cells beneath the building demonstrate a changing sequence of usages and functions over time. The "trench room", which occupies part of the former court room has a strong historical associated with the First World War, because it was there that parcels were assembled for despatch to troops in the trenches.
Although much of the building has been extensively modernised, the elaborately decorated and skylight stair hall and the mayor's room and adjoining council chamber, complete with the original 1860s chamber furniture, are intact. The building is enhanced by having retained its natural cement render external finish as well as the stone dressings at ground floor level.

From City of Ballarat media release
Friday, March 12, 2010, 3:01 PM The Ballarat Town Hall restoration project continues with works underway on the Sturt Street façade.
Residents and visitors are sure to notice scaffolding installed to the full façade of the historic Town Hall building, extending to the top of the clocktower.
The restoration of the Sturt Street façade will be completed mid-2010. Public access to the Sturt Street Town Hall entrance was interrupted while the scaffolding was erected, as it will be for a short time during the dismantling of the scaffolding, however the entry is now open and will remain so throughout the works.
Ballarat City Lead Councillor on Heritage Samantha McIntosh said the Town Hall is among Ballarat's finest historical locations and residents are sure to admire the important restoration works.
"Town Hall has the highest possible heritage listings at both state and national levels. The building is an icon of the city and as part of this project, the Town Hall will be restored to its rightful glory. While the scaffolding and works may not look glamorous right now, this essential restoration will protect and preserve the Town Hall well into the future."
Local Ballarat company, Nicholson Construction are completing the restoration project.
The conservation work includes the restoration of all stone, renders, timbers, metal materials and architectural features on the exterior of the building including the wrought iron balustrade on top of the clock tower. The clock faces will be restored, windows repainted and all gutterings replaced.
The Sturt Street façade works involve restoration of all rendered surfaces and the removal of all eroding sandstone pediments in the area near the building's Sturt Street entrance and replacement with new stone. The sandstone will be sourced from Germany to match the existing stone.
The Town Hall restoration project will cost approximately $1.85M. Council has provided $0.5M in its 2008/09 capital budget for the works; and allocated a further $1M of its five year capital program. The Federal Government Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts has contributed $350,000 to the project.
The first phase of the building's restoration - the Armstrong Street and Town Hall Lane façades - was completed in December 2009. The works, which began in August 2009, featured the restoration and replacement of decayed ledges, cornices, mouldings and cement wash over the whole façade.
The most recent conservation report, 'Ballarat Town Hall External Conditions Survey Report' (Allom Lovell 2004) identified the need for major conservation works on the external fabric. Specialised heritage and conservation architects were appointed by Council to develop method statements and specifications to enable the project to proceed.
The foundation stone of the existing Town Hall building - the third on the site - was laid on January 14, 1870, the 14th anniversary of the first election of Councillors. The first meeting of the City Council took place in the building in March 1872.

Extent of Registration 1. All the building known as the Ballarat Town Hall, marked B1 on Plan No. 600222G(A), endorsed by the Chairperson of the HBC and held by the Director, Historic Buildings Council, but excluding the addition made to the building after 1912.

Statement of Significance
The distinctive two storey classical revival building, with central mansarded clock tower of two levels, and unusual pedimented end pavilions featuring fan-shaped glazing is one of the few grand-scale symmetrical town hall design in Victoria, and reflects the civic pride of the Ballarat citizens of the 1860s, and their vision for the future.
* The design, which resulted from an architectural competition in 1868, is interesting and unusual work of three architects - the exterior by JJ Lorenz, the interior by local architect HR Caselli, and the final overall composition by Ballarat borough architect Percy Oakden, who merged the incompatible design designs of Lorenz and Caselli into a whole. Oakden later moved to Melbourne, entered partnership with architect Leonard Terry, and became one of Victoria's influential 19th century architects. The building was erected by William Cowland.
The Town Hall is believed to be one of the only three such buildings in the world equipped with bells. The eight "Alfred Bells" in the clock tower, weighing four and a half tons were purchased to celebrate the arrival of Prince Alfred following an attempted assassination. (The Prince visited Ballarat in 1867).
The fact that part of the ground floor street frontage was rented for commercial purposes is particularly unusual in a town hall building. Indeed, the last major tenant, the Commercial Bank of Australia Ltd who vacated the building in 1965, occupied the Armstrong Street corner for 97 years.
The existence of the unfinished 1860 town hall (designed by CO Cuthbert and built by Evans and Barker), incorporated into the eastern extremity of the present building, the former police court, and the cells beneath the building demonstrate a changing sequence of usages and functions over time. The "trench room", which occupies part of the former court room has a strong historical associated with the First World War, because it was there that parcels were assembled for despatch to troops in the trenches.
Although much of the building has been extensively modernised, the elaborately decorated and skylight stair hall and the mayor's room and adjoining council chamber, complete with the original 1860s chamber furniture, are intact.

Oakden later moved to Melbourne, entered partnership with architect Leonard Terry, and became one of Victoria's influential 19th century architects. The building was erected by William Cowland.
The Town Hall is believed to be one of the only three such buildings in the world equipped with bells. The eight "Alfred Bells" in the clock tower, weighing four and a half tons were purchased to celebrate the arrival of Prince Alfred following an attempted assassination. (The Prince visited Ballarat in 1867).
The fact that part of the ground floor street frontage was rented for commercial purposes is particularly unusual in a town hall building. Indeed, the last major tenant, the Commercial Bank of Australia Ltd who vacated the building in 1965, occupied the Armstrong Street corner for 97 years.
The existence of the unfinished 1860 town hall (designed by CO Cuthbert and built by Evans and Barker), incorporated into the eastern extremity of the present building, the former police court, and the cells beneath the building demonstrate a changing sequence of usages and functions over time. The "trench room", which occupies part of the former court room has a strong historical associated with the First World War, because it was there that parcels were assembled for despatch to troops in the trenches.
Although much of the building has been extensively modernised, the elaborately decorated and skylight stair hall and the mayor's room and adjoining council chamber, complete with the original 1860s chamber furniture, are intact. The building is enhanced by having retained its natural cement render external finish as well as the stone dressings at ground floor level.

From City of Ballarat media release
Friday, March 12, 2010, 3:01 PM The Ballarat Town Hall restoration project continues with works underway on the Sturt Street façade.
Residents and visitors are sure to notice scaffolding installed to the full façade of the historic Town Hall building, extending to the top of the clocktower.
The restoration of the Sturt Street façade will be completed mid-2010. Public access to the Sturt Street Town Hall entrance was interrupted while the scaffolding was erected, as it will be for a short time during the dismantling of the scaffolding, however the entry is now open and will remain so throughout the works.
Ballarat City Lead Councillor on Heritage Samantha McIntosh said the Town Hall is among Ballarat's finest historical locations and residents are sure to admire the important restoration works.
"Town Hall has the highest possible heritage listings at both state and national levels. The building is an icon of the city and as part of this project, the Town Hall will be restored to its rightful glory. While the scaffolding and works may not look glamorous right now, this essential restoration will protect and preserve the Town Hall well into the future."
Local Ballarat company, Nicholson Construction are completing the restoration project.
The conservation work includes the restoration of all stone, renders, timbers, metal materials and architectural features on the exterior of the building including the wrought iron balustrade on top of the clock tower. The clock faces will be restored, windows repainted and all gutterings replaced.
The Sturt Street façade works involve restoration of all rendered surfaces and the removal of all eroding sandstone pediments in the area near the building's Sturt Street entrance and replacement with new stone. The sandstone will be sourced from Germany to match the existing stone.
The Town Hall restoration project will cost approximately $1.85M. Council has provided $0.5M in its 2008/09 capital budget for the works; and allocated a further $1M of its five year capital program. The Federal Government Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts has contributed $350,000 to the project.
The first phase of the building's restoration - the Armstrong Street and Town Hall Lane façades - was completed in December 2009. The works, which began in August 2009, featured the restoration and replacement of decayed ledges, cornices, mouldings and cement wash over the whole façade.
The most recent conservation report, 'Ballarat Town Hall External Conditions Survey Report' (Allom Lovell 2004) identified the need for major conservation works on the external fabric. Specialised heritage and conservation architects were appointed by Council to develop method statements and specifications to enable the project to proceed.
The foundation stone of the existing Town Hall building - the third on the site - was laid on January 14, 1870, the 14th anniversary of the first election of Councillors. The first meeting of the City Council took place in the building in March 1872.

My cousin Tom - Apr 1948 - Apr 1969
thewall-usa.com/info.asp?recid=35775
I remember Tom as a young boy in Pittsburgh. Our family lines are descended from our common ancestor, our grandfather - John Francis Connors - an Irish immigrant who worked in the steel mills of Pittsburgh. Our grandfather had a deep love for his family and his adopted country. We inherited those principles and we still keep in touch with family members to this day at our annual family reunion. Members of our family have proudly served in our military in every major conflict. Tom, his younger brother Dennis, my sister and I, found lots of things to get into when our parents visited on the weekends. It seemed like we were either at their house or they were at ours, every Saturday night for years. I can still see their first house in my mind today. Tom was the epitome of the term 'nice guy'. He was well liked by all those he came in contact with and he had a natural leadership ability that you could just feel. We can only wonder what the future held for Tom, but with all of his personal charm and leadership abilities it is very possible that he would have developed into one of Pittsburgh's leading politicians. Our family lost another cousin in Vietnam - David Allen Ferraro, PFC - E3, 173rd Airborne Brigade, Panel 08E - - Line 111 To these two patriots - and our cousins - we can only say that we are eternally grateful for your sacrifice and you will be missed and remembered in the hearts and minds of your family and friends forever.
Should you be in the vicinity of Papenburg, Germany and you can plan ahead then consider visiting and touring the Meyer yard, it is very interesting to see the mega cruise liners being built live! For the next years the yard is very busy assembling as they hold orders for AIDA Cruises (part of Carnival) as well as Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises and Disney Cruises! Here you see the passageway that connects two of the yard's assembly halls of which one is adorned by a huge very well themed wall painting.
